In the Audience
She stands center stage,
spotlight brings the attention
to her flawless figure.
Blush brightens her cheeks
and the lights reflect in her wide eyes.
She opens her painted lips
and her voice effortlessly traces a gentle melody.
Sequins glimmer on her dress
like stars against the midnight sky.
She stands alone on stage,
holding the audience's attention
with her manicured hands.
She captures their emotions
and wraps them around her finger.
They sit enchanted by her melodious voice
that echoes through the speakers.
Enthralled by the glorious figure on stage,
no one notices the tears forming in another's eyes.
Among them,
in the audience,
she sits.
Knowing that she should be in center stage.
Instead
she sinks down in her seat.
Afraid of just being the follow-up act.
